On 23rd September the most influential TV news channel in the Arab region Al Jazeera broadcasted the eight-minute-long story of Latvian unique invention, anti-cancer medication Rigvir, its inventor – scientist Aina Muceniece and Latvian Virotherapy Center as a pioneer in the field of cancer virotherapy.

Very long, but interesting discussion about virotherapy. Nowadays researchers figured out how to teach our immune system to recognize and mobilize against cancer cells like snipers, thus moving away from the chemo-bombs that can’t distinguish malignant cells from healthy ones.

When we hear that someone has been diagnosed with cancer, it seems normal to us, that this person is treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy, because these are the most popular therapies which doctors prescribe for cancer patients. There exist some alternatives, but they are not so well-known and advertised. The funny thing is, that a worldwide survey results show, that 3 out of 4 doctors or scientists would refuse chemotherapy for themselves because of it’s harmful effect on body and immune system, and extremely low success rate.
